Kid POV

I was currently laying on my bed, staring at my ceiling. I kept replaying the whole event with Chrona in my head over and over agan.

I mean, I suppose it was normal for two people to be in a stable relationship and still think about other people...It wasn't a kind reality, but that's the way it was.

Still, I never thought Chrona would be the type of girl to think about that sort of thing. Then again...Chrona had just learned about sex...this was all new to her and of course she'd be excited by something like that. Especially if she looked up to Stein...

And she did...

I sighed sadly. I had spent the rest of the night with Chrona, the both of us talking and joking back and forth, but I was still upset.

I was upset with Stein for putting these thoughts in my head...

I was upset with myself for being worked up over what Stein had said enough to say all of those things to Chrona...

And I was upset with Ragnorak for not keeping his damned mouth shut. Stupid blob.

I told Chrona that I'd be busy today...I felt so bad for lying...

But in all reality I was busy with thinking about what to do next.

I thought that maybe I should talk to someone about it but who?

Liz would hit me for being so worked up about it...

Maka would Maka-chop me for putting indecent thoughts into Chrona's head...

Soul would just tell me that worrying too much is way uncool...

Black Star would be Black Star (need I say more?)...

Patty wouldn't listen AT ALL...

Tsubaki...might actually try to help but she would end up telling Black Star about it...

So all that was left was...

...Stein.

Damnitt.

I huffed and grabbed my jacket, heading for that maniac's lab. What was the worst that could happen?

oooo

Chrona POV

I was in Maka's room, helping her study for an uncoming exam but asking her questions. I always did like spending time with her, but she always got very intense with exams...as though it was a do or die situation. The only time she was more focused was when she was fighting.

But luckily after going over the questions for an hour straight, she finally decided she was prepared.

"So, Chrona," Maka began putting her book on her desk. "How is it? Dating Kid, I mean."

I smiled, blushing. "It's been very nice...I...I love Kid-kun very much..."

"AWW~!" Maka hugged me, squeezing me enough that I almost couldn't breath. She pulled back and smiled, tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Maka, are you okay?"

She nodded and sat next to me on the bed. "I am. I'm okay because I love seeing you happy," She said. "Chrona, when I first met you, you seemed so lost. You kept talking down about yourself, saying that you were useless and that you shouldn't be here and now...Now you're happy and actually DATING! It's amazing to see how far you've come! I'm so proud!" She hugged me again.

I was blushing madly and hugged her back.

No point in ruining her good mood by mentioning the akward moment that Kid and I had last night...

oooo

Kid POV

I skipped the doorbell, instead taking to knocking loudly on the door.

Stein opened up several moments later, looking groggy. "Arg, what?" He rubbed the bridge of his nose and looked down, seeing me there. "Oh, it's you Kid. Come on in."

I fallowed him in and slammed the door behind me.

He jolted a bit. "Jeez, Kid, take it easy. Don't break down my door,"

"Don't 'jeez, Kid' me!" I yelled. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

"The owner of this house."

"Shut up!" All my rational thought had flown out the window. I was nothing but pure rage. "You're a bastard! A fiend!"

"Stein, is everything okay?" Miss Marie had popped out of the kitchen to find me yelling at Stein, and became very confused by the scene.

"Um, Marie, why don't you go out for a while? This is a private matter," Stein explained vaugely, going to lead her towards the door before slamming it on her and locking it. He turned back to me, looking slightly irritated and confused. "Now...tell me what your problem is."

"My problem is you!" I exclaimed. "You and your stupid pervertedness!"

"What the hell are you talking about, Kid?"

"Don't play stupid! The last time I was here, you started going on and on about how I wasn't good enough for Chrona! How I should be thanking you for being close to her! You even went as far to suggest teaching me how to keep her mine!"

Stein POV

Oh...so he was thinking about it...

I sighed. "Look, Kid, I get that you're a little worked up, but my opinion isn't usually this important to you. So what's really the issue?"

Kid faltered a bit, a blush on his cheeks. He sighed and sat down, his head in his hands. "I told Chrona about it," He confessed.

What? "You told Chrona what I said?"

"Yes..." He groaned. "I don't know why I did it...She knew something was bugging me and I felt terrible keeping something from her and making her worry." He leaned back and I took a seat on the oppisite couch, lighting up a cigerette.

"Go on," I pressed.

Kid sighed. "We were in her room and it was nagging at the back of my head...She finally came out and asked if something was wrong and I told her that I spoke to you and you had admitted to being attracted to her-"

"What'd she say to that?"

Kid rolled his eyes. "Nothing. Anyway, I went on to ask if she really did look up to you and...she...admitted that she did but she didn't think of you in the same way that she thought of me,"

"Of course,"

"And then I told her...your little suggestion."

"Well?" I was oin edge now. "What did she say?"

Kid shook his head. "Well...at first she sat there, blank faced and then went on to say that she didn't know how to handle something like that."

I sighed, leaning back again and taking a long drag. "Can't say I'm surprised."

"I was,"

"...You were?"

"Yes!" He was getting worked up again now. "Because she suddenly jumped up and ran into the bathroom! I knew something was wrong, so I coaxed her out and then Ragnorak spills that your idea had actually made her excited!"

I felt a smirk growing on my face.

"Really now?"

ooooooooooooooooooo
